Needless to say, Ive had all 6 of mine, and pick my team because it's, you know, my team.
so I've had all but 2 among the 2 teams.
Obviously I'll go with my team too. I'd be happy to send you a Flower Power if you want to give one a try. I'll grab some when my bottle shop gets a fresh delivery and get it right out.
Founders CBS- I'll grab one when they come around WNY again but we get so few of Founders hard to get beers.. I'm sure it's incredible.
Stone "Enjoy By"- Had one and it was very good (4/1/13). Everyone has their favorite IPA and Ithaca's is mine, just a different taste. Nice choice. Troeg's Nugget Nectar is awesome. Another great IPA/Red IPA. Bell's 25th Anniversary is retired according to Beer Advocate. Russian River Blind Pig IPA- No chance of getting this one. Bell's Third Coast- I'll pick one up in PA and give it a try if I can find it. I'm not a huge barleywine fan, especially in the summertime but it's beer so why not?
I tried to pick a variety of styles that are hopefully easy to find so I hope you guys enjoy trying them out. I'd be happy to do some UPS swaps.

vegman Ithaca Flower Power DIPA: Had it. I feel the citrus character has become almost too prevalent since they expanded and I got fresh stuff. Still a good brew though, especially in the summer. Ole' Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout: Had it. This is probably my favorite Imperial Stout... no, it is. Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald Porter: Haven't had it. Not too much of a porter fan. Victory Prima Pils: Had it. Not my favorite style but a solid choice for a pilsner. Saison Dupont: Haven't had it. I have been coming around to saisons but haven't had too many. Ayinger Brauweisse: Haven't had it. Also not much a a wheat beer guy. vs. @Skitchp Founders Canadian Breakfast Stout: Haven't had it. Breakfast stout is tremendous, I can only guess this alternate is fantastic. Stones "Enjoy By": Had them. Hit or miss whether we get a shipment out here but the ones I've had are solid. Bells 25th Anniversary Ale: Haven't had it. Bells has been pretty solid but no CT distro leaves tasting few and far between. Troegs Nugget Nectar: Had it. This is a great beer and there's buzz that CT will be getting Troegs soon. Russian River Blind Pig IPA: Haven't had it. Can probably only imagine. Bells Third Coast Old Ale: Had it. In fact I may have one soon, solid barleywine.
If I had to vote now I feel I'd have to go with vegman, it's tough only having half of the beers selected.

The realization that the true anchor (and probably my 3 favorite beers i picked) on my team has probably only been had by 4 people on the board makes me question my drafting strateg... oh wait. I wasn't even in the damned tournament.

The number of tournaments Argo has fucked into the ground on this board is truly astonishing
